Lebanese President Advances Ceasefire

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun confirmed that efforts are underway to stabilize the ceasefire in southern Lebanon, followed by the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the occupied areas, the deployment of the Lebanese army, the return of residents, the release of prisoners, and the start of reconstruction. He pointed out that the Lebanese-American-Israeli negotiations in Washington are ongoing and include the necessary security measures to ensure regional stability and to establish the state's authority along the internationally recognized southern border. He also expressed his hope for continued British support for Lebanon, especially in terms of military assistance and logistical aid, noting that some European countries are inclined to maintain their presence in the south after the planned UNIFIL withdrawal in 2027. Aoun emphasized that coordination with Syria is ongoing and that the recent statements by Syrian President Ahmad Shalabi have contributed to improving relations and ending rumors about Syrian military involvement in Lebanon.
